A thrilling new destination is coming to northern Okinawa — Junglia, a jungle safari- and dinosaur-themed adventure park, is set to open this Friday in Nakijin village. Spanning over 60 hectares, this unique theme park offers 22 attractions and live stage shows, all set within the lush subtropical greenery of the Motobu Peninsula.
Unlike traditional parks focused on roller coasters, Junglia delivers immersive outdoor experiences, combining adventure sports with lifelike encounters with tyrannosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Visitors can explore scenic trails, interactive zones, and jungle-themed eateries and shops.
Located around 90 minutes by car from Naha, the capital city and main airport hub, the park’s remote setting may challenge some tourists. Yet, for those venturing beyond the city, Junglia promises to become a top destination, rivaling the popular Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in the north.
Junglia has also introduced a two-tier pricing system — offering discounted entry to local Okinawa residents, while nonresident visitors pay standard rates.
